AR Open Balances Revaluation - Case Study & Technical Analysis
Executive Summary
The AR Open Balances Revaluation report is a key financial closing tool for multinational organizations. It calculates the unrealized foreign exchange (FX) gains or losses on outstanding customer invoices. Accounting standards (such as US GAAP and IFRS) mandate that monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies be revalued at the end of each reporting period using the closing exchange rate. This report provides the supporting detail for these adjustments.
Business Challenge
When an invoice is issued in a foreign currency (e.g., EUR) but the company’s books are kept in another (e.g., USD), the value of that receivable fluctuates with the exchange rate.
- Volatility: Significant currency swings can materially impact the balance sheet.
- Compliance: Failure to revalue open balances results in incorrect asset valuation and violates accounting principles.
- Complexity: Manually tracking the original rate vs. the current rate for thousands of open invoices and partial payments is prone to error.
Solution
The AR Open Balances Revaluation report automates the valuation process by:
- Snapshotting: Identifying all open receivables as of a specific “As of Date.”
- Rate Comparison: Retrieving the original exchange rate used at the time of the transaction and comparing it to the closing rate for the period.
- Calculation: Computing the difference (Unrealized Gain/Loss) for each transaction and summarizing it by currency and account.
Technical Architecture
The report logic involves simulating the revaluation process without necessarily posting it.
Key Tables & Joins
- Open Balances:
AR_PAYMENT_SCHEDULEScontains the remaining amount due for each invoice. - Transaction Details:
RA_CUSTOMER_TRXprovides the original exchange rate and currency code. - Market Rates:
GL_DAILY_RATESis queried to find the exchange rate for the “As of Date” based on the selected Rate Type (e.g., Corporate, Spot). - Accounting:
GL_CODE_COMBINATIONSandXLA_AE_LINESmay be referenced to determine the Receivables account associated with the transaction.
Logic
- Selection: Finds all transactions with a non-zero balance as of the parameter date.
- Rate Retrieval: Looks up the revaluation rate. If a rate is missing for the specific date, it may look back to the last available rate depending on configuration.
- Computation: \(\text{Revalued Amount} = \text{Open Foreign Amount} \times \text{Revaluation Rate}\) \(\text{Unrealized Gain/Loss} = \text{Revalued Amount} - \text{Open Functional Amount}\)
Parameters
- As of Date: The valuation date (usually the last day of the month).
- Exchange Rate Type: The rate type to use for revaluation (e.g., ‘Month End’, ‘Corporate’).
- Currency: Option to run for a specific currency or all currencies.
- Include Domestic Invoices: Typically set to ‘No’, as domestic transactions do not generate FX gains/losses unless the functional currency differs from the reporting currency.
FAQ
Q: Does this report post entries to the GL? A: No, this is a reporting tool. The actual “Revaluation” process in the General Ledger or the “Revaluation” program in AR is responsible for creating the journal entries. This report is used to validate those figures.
Q: Why is the revaluation rate missing? A: If the report shows a missing rate, ensure that the Daily Rates are defined in the General Ledger for the “As of Date” and the selected “Exchange Rate Type.”
Q: How are partial payments handled? A: The report revalues only the remaining open balance of the invoice, not the original full amount.
Oracle E-Business Suite Reporting Library
We provide an open source Oracle EBS SQLs as a part of operational and project implementation support toolkits for rapid Excel reports generation.
Blitz Report™ is based on Oracle EBS forms technology, and hence requires minimal training. There are no data or performance limitations since the output files are created directly from the database without going through intermediate file formats such as XML.
Blitz Report can be used as BI Publisher and Oracle Discoverer replacement tool. Standard Oracle BI Publisher and Discoverer reports can also be imported into Blitz Report for immediate output to Excel. Typically, reports can be created and version tracked within hours instead of days. The concurrent request output automatically opens upon completion without the need for re-formatting.
The Filters, Columns, Rows and Values fields are used to create and deliver the data in pivot table format with full drill down to details.

The Excel template upload functionality in Blitz Report allows users to create their own layouts by uploading an Excel template with additional sheets and charts, automatically refreshed when the report runs again. This allows to create custom dashboards and more advanced visualizations of report data.

You can download and use Blitz Report free of charge for your first 30 reports.
The installation and implementation process usually takes less than 1 hour; you can refer to our installation and user guides for specific details.
If you would like to optimize your Oracle EBS implementation and or operational reporting you can visit www.enginatics.com to review great ideas and example usage in blog. Or why not try for yourself in our demo environment.
